'1'!) !I-// whom it "my ((IIIIOFPTLJ Be it known that l, FREDERICKGEORGE SHAW, a snbect of the King ofGreat Britain, residing at ].lNeville Court, Abbey Road, London, ,l lngland, have invented new anduseful llnprovements Relating to Spectacles, Motor-Goggles, and theLike, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to spectacles, motor goggles and the like and hasfor its object to provide means whereby such spectacles or goggleswhilebeing securely held in position may be readily moved from aposition for use intoan out of the way position or vice versa.

According to my invention I provide a pair of arms adapted at one end tobe pivotally connected to the side of a cap or hat and at the other endconnected to the side bars of the spectacles or goggles.

in the accompanying drawing :Fignre 1 is a perspective view showing apair of spectacles arranged in accordance with my invention and appliedto acap, the said spectacles being in the position which they occupywhen not required for use. Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. l butshowing the position of the device when the spectacles are in use. Figs.3 and 4 are respectively a side view and an end view illustrating theessential part of my invention, and Figs. 5 and '6 are views similar toFigs. 3 and 4 respectively illustrating the use of my invention inconnection with an ordinary pair of spectacles.

c is one of a pair of arms to which the side bars I) of the spectaclesare connected, the said arm at its upper end being pivotally mounted ona headed screw c, the shank of which is designed to be forced throughthe material of the cap from the inside at the de sired point; on theouter portion of the shank is threaded, first, a loose washer (2, thenthe eye a of the arm, then another loose washerf and finally a nut gwhich serves to clamp all the parts in place While allowing sufficientfreedom of movement to permit of the arm pivoting about the shank to thedesired extent.

The side bars of the'spectacles may be permanently pivoted to the freeends of the side bars, as indicated at h in Figs. 3 and 4. If desired,however, the free ends of the arms a may each beformed with a clamp, forinstance, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6 where t indicates the hinged memberof a clamp and j a screw for adjusting the same, which screw passesfreely through the hinged member &

and is screwed into the arm itself. of this clamp enables my inventionto be used in connection with ordinary spectacles the side bars of whichare inserted into the clamp and held therein;

With this construction it will be understood that when the spectacles orgoggles are in use resting on the bridge of the wearers nose they are sosecurely held by the pivoted arms a that they cannot be accidentallyknocked off and that by pulling the spectacles forward to clear thefront of the cap and then lifting them upwardly they may be caused torest on the cap where they will likewise be securely held.

If desired, an attachment such as a hook k may be fixed upon the frontof the cap with which the spectacles can be engaged when not in use.

My invention is of especial advantage to persons engaged in fishing, inwhich pastime spectacles may only be required or desired when baitingthe hook or inspecting the same.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my saidinvention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare thatwhat I claim is 1. The combination with a pair of spectacles providedwith side bars, of links secured to said side bars and means forpivoting said links to an article of head apparel whereby said linkswillmove in a plane substantially ')erpendicular to the article of headapparel, substantially as described.

2. The combination with a pair of spectacles provided with side bars, oflinks secured to said side bars and means for detaehably pivoting saidlinks to an article of head apparel wherebysaid links will move in aplane substantially perpendicular to the article of headapparel,substantially as described.

3. The combination with a pair of spectacles provided with side bars, oflinks detachabl y secured to said side bars and means for pivotallysecuring said links to an article of head apparel. whereby said linkswill move in a lane substantially perpendicular to the artic e of headapparel, substantially as described.

4.
